The brain as an organ of mind . perficial as well aswith the deeper structures of the greater part of the body, including all the great nerves of the limbs. Chap. II.] A NERVOUS SYSTEM. 53 In higher ver-tehrates, such asBirds and Mam-mals, we have thissame fusion of gan-glia in the spinalcord (fig. 19), whilsta similar processalso displays it-self to a moremarked extent inthe brain. In thehigher forms ofthis series, andabove all in Manhimself, the gan-glia of the brainbecome more andmore integrated, and some of theseparts also takeon an enormousdevelopment.

Thus, whilst the Cerebrumand the Cerebellum, which together constitute the Brain, is actually much lighter in the Lamprey than the SpinalCord, these same parts in Man are found to attain com-paratively enormous dimensions, and greatly to exceed inweight the inferior, though highly important, spinalcentres. CHAPTEK in. THE USE AND NATURE OF SENSE ORGANS. Heat and light are physical influences to which eventhe lowest units of living matter respond, whether theirmode of life and nutrition be most akin to that of Plantsor to that of Animals. These influences act upon suchorganisms, either by stimulating, retarding, or otherwisemodifying the chemical changes occurring in their interior, and upon the existence of which their Life depends. Where the vital processes of the organism are stimulatedby these physical agencies, their incidence may, in manyinstances, become the cause of so-called * spontane
